Sorry for the delay.

Landlock does not provide any of the hooks that use a struct lsmblob.
That would be secid_to_secctx, secctx_to_secid, inode_getsecid,
cred_getsecid, kernel_act_as task_getsecid_subj task_getsecid_obj and
ipc_getsecid. Setting .slot = LSMBLOB_NEEDED indicates that the LSM
uses a slot in struct lsmblob. Landlock does not need a slot.

Sure. I'll add them to my routine.

Yes. That's reasonable.
